Question

4 ( x- 2) = 34 for x

Answer 1

10.5

Explanation:

4(x-2)=34

Divide both sides by 4.

`x-2=(34)/(4)`

Reduce the fraction.

`x-2=(17)/(2)`

Add 2 to both sides.

`x=(17)/(2)+2`

Convert 2 into the fraction
`(4)/(2)`.

`x=(17)/(2) +`
`(4)/(2)`

Add the fractions by adding their numerators.

`x=(17+4)/(2)`

Add 17 and 4 to get 21

`x=(21)/(2)` or 10.5

have a nice day!
